Cue List
The cue list allows users to control timeline playback with a focus on cues. There is quite a lot of overlap with the cue list as offered in the Control module.
The cue list is tightly integrated with the current timeline state. Its progress bars reflect both the playback status within the current cue as well as the cue that is being blended into. The list immediately updates to reflect any cue edits in the timeline.
Activating the Cue List
The cue list is not part of the default layout. To add it, use the menus introduced with Window Pane Management.
For further information about PIXERAs Window Pane Management please read through this article: Window Pane Management
Right click on any window layout frame in the UI in Compositing Tab and create a new empty window by splitting and existing window
Right click again in the newly created empty space and add “Cue List”
By selecting a Timeline the corresponding Cue List is displayed.
You can also change Cue Lists using a drop down here:
By activating a cue in the Cue List (clicking on the ‘play’ button) the Nowpointer will fade to this cue within a predefined time. Additionally, a delay for this fade is added as well.
The ‘pause’ button will bring the Nowpointer to the selected cue with the timeline paused.
These timings can be set in PIXERA - Settings - General - “Fade to Time/Cue Duration” and “Fade to Time Delay”
Countdown Timer:
The bar in the Cue List counts down to the next cue on the Cue List. It matches the TC clock in the timeline
Exclude from Cue List:
Once you select a cue, you can exclude the Cue from the cue stack using the “Exclude from Cue List and Countdown” option in the Inspector. The cue will still activate, it just will not appear in the cue stack.
Cue List Follow option:
Activating the Cue List Follow button will auto scroll the Cue List to the most recently activated cue, allowing the operator to see the current cue without needing to change anything in the UI.
